Shorten the Sync Time
Recently, cloud storage has played incredibly important role in our day-to-day lives. Important documents in the cloud can conveniently be accessed from all your devices, and storage services like iCloud by Apple are increasingly important to users hoping to hang onto all those smartphone pictures and videos that we all take throughout the day.
The issue is, iCloud, just like every other cloud storage application, relies on a fast, stable connection in order to function properly. Automatic syncing of documents, images, and videos can be interrupted or fail to transfer altogether, manually downloading that important work document when you’re at a jobsite can be equally problematic without a strong LTE or Wi-Fi connection.
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
